Event

Join us for a ‘species enrichment’ planting event at Motions Road Reserve beside the wonderful Waitītiko stream (also known as ‘Meola Creek’). We will be adding native species which have been lost to the area, in order to increase the plant diversity and provide a wider range of year-round food sources for native birds and a more diverse habitat for lizards, insects and aquatic creatures. A further benefit is that additional shade will help improve water quality, mitigate against the impacts of flooding and help to keep invasive pest plants under control.

Please RSVP our restoration advisor [Enable JavaScript to view protected content] if you intend to come, so we can plan how much gear and catering to bring.

It would be great if you can try to be on time for a 9am start so we’re all together for the short karakia and safety briefing.

Recommended to wear

-Raincoat, just in case there are showers.

-Hiking/work-boots with good grip, as the steeper ground may be slippery in places.

Recommended to bring

-Water bottle.

-Spade and gloves if you happen to own them … if not we’ll provide them for you.

See red dot on map above for meeting point. Look out for the Urban Ark flag.

We’ll be putting on a cuppa and biscuits when the mahi is done, so it will also be good chance to meet a few locals while you pat yourself on the back for doing something positive for your local environment.
